acres after Eve years by planting zoo acres to
grain and twenty-four acres to timber. Free tran
sportation from Buenos Ayres the place of location
is granted all settlers and their families exemption
from taxation for years and societies
are organized which issue bonds guaranteed by the

settlers in sums not greater than ST. 200. for five
years with interest at per cent, upon the

erection of certain amount of improvements The
results of these benehcent laws conspicuous In
1886 nearly nine hundred thousand of wild
